Charlie boy looks kind of regal and painterly which feeds into the semiotics of museum based
images of royal portraiture. But he does not look arrogant and dense enough for my taste.
George , as an image I am less satisfied with, partly because I could not make him
look cruel enough, considering what is happening to the economy. He needs to look like Goya's
portrait of Wellington; a perfect matrix of cruelty, arrogance, entitlement and the butchery of human flesh, rendered in oil paint.
